The Haryana government may end
up destroying the water recharge zone for Delhi, Gurgaon and Faridabad if it
goes ahead with its plan of landfilling quarry pits near Pali village in
Faridabad Aravalis. Scientists and geologists TOI spoke to said the Aravalis
and the Yamuna floodplains are absolutely sacrosanct for drinking water
availability in a large part of NCR. Meanwhile, damage of groundwater aquifers
in the region has already begun with leachate from the defunct Bandhwari waste
treatment plant nearby forming a huge toxic lake in the midst of the forest.
The government, however, has not even bothered to send leachate samples for
tests.
